Sunday 5th to Sunday 12th May
Sunday – Jane invited us to her house for a roast dinner,
Sheila & Tony was there and Malcolm managed to finish early and so we were all together, it was delicious, Jane is a great cook and always feeds us so
well.

Monday – We took the boat into the marina and had two locks
to do from where we were moored, they are not deep locks and we were soon through
them and on our way to the marina. Jane
and Harry came with us, so when we had
moored up in our allocated space which I have to say was not the best spot as
the moorings rings were in funny places and didn’t fit our boat but Kev managed
to get the rope around the wood.

We then went and had breakfast in the café and it was really
good. Jane then walked back to Audlem
with Harry and we went back to the boat.

Tuesday to Thursday – We went back to Weston and stayed at
my friend Davinas. We have come down as
we are scattering my dad’s ashes on Wednesday. My sister’s Carole, Janet and Lesley and my two
brother-in-law Chris and Les and me and Kev and Mavis, my dad’s partner got the
steam train from Bishops Lydeard to Watchet, it is the West Somerset Railway. We
were originally going to Minehead but there was a problem with the track so
the train could only go as far as Watchet.
My dad loved the steam train and so we thought it fitting to take him
for one last trip.

We scattered him on the rocks and beach and then had a nice
lunch. It was a lovely day, very
emotional but my dad would have enjoyed it and I wanted to make a memory of dad
day which we did.

Thursday morning when
we were getting up, there was a heron on the roof of the house opposite, I
think our guide had come to lead us back home to the boat!!

We got back to the
boat Thursday afternoon after visiting my nephew Nick and his wife Narissa who
has cancer and is in a hospice but is doing unbelievably well and hopefully will
be back home very soon. It was lovely to
see them both.

Friday – We left the marina but before we did, we had
breakfast in the café with Sheila & Tony.
Saturday – We went shopping in Nantwich to stock up on
supplies and Jane kindly drove us there and back, we had a lovely morning
browsing around the shops and market.
Sunday – We are having a day on the boat doing chores and
Kev is making his wall art and craft ware.
Kev has bought a scroll saw and is busy making all kinds of things which
hopefully we can sell and make a few bob.
We are now moored at the bottom of the Audlem flight of
locks and will stay around here this week, it’s a lovely area and we can get a
bus to Nantwich or Whitchurch and also see our friends so a good place to stay
around.
